Grettel

Grettel Origin and Meaning

The name Grettel is a girl's name.

Grettel is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Gretel, which itself is a diminutive of Margaret, derived from the Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' The spelling with double 't' gives the name a distinctive look while maintaining the same pronunciation. This variation gained some popularity in Latin American countries, particularly among Spanish-speaking populations. Grettel carries the charm of the character from the famous Grimm Brothers' fairy tale 'Hansel and Gretel,' lending it a whimsical, storybook quality. While not among the most common names in the United States, it offers parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon an attractive option with international appeal and literary connections.
